I'm guessing it's similar to "Diversitarianism" from that one TL (Male rising?). Totalitarian and ultra-segregationist in order to ensure every culture is as "genuine" as possible or sumn, but with a lot of left-wing elements

You'd have thunk that after more than 700 years, Wisconsinites would have officially dropped the silent '-il-' from the spelling of Milwaukee.
.
I was running out of time when I got to Milwaukee, so I didn't bother to change it. The accurate spelling would be 'Mewocee'.
This is for my planned upcoming reboot of my Shadow of the Old Pueblo Timeline.
The city of Tucson Arizona appeared on the coast of what would have been western Turkey in 1600 BCE. Completely cut off from any outside food or supplies, the city quickly fell into chaos, the city government collapsed and the Air Force fled. Many died in the early days, those who didn't were largely forced to leave the city and build a new life somewhere else. That was twenty years ago, much has changed in those two decades.

Something like that. I haven't really looked into the specifics of what such an ideology would be in terms of what we have had on Earth. Any thoughts on that?

There's an obscure French and Vietnamese source I found that quoted the Nguyen emperors used "flags" for their provinces in response to the increased European presence, quite an interesting read. Colors also played a big role in there too, but unfortunately I couldn't show them on the map. Very annoyingly, there were also no flag sources for Cochinchina, but ah well.
> tfw you're vietnamese yourself but non-vietnamese (i assume that is what you are) manage to find better sources than you do
Where is this source, if I am allowed to ask?
Feel like you're gonna have to explain what definition of fascism and communism you're working with here for thise to make sense. Like, is communist economics a moneyless and classless economy, or is it just centrally-planned state-capitalism a la the USSR, and is "fascist government type" just a stand-in for "authoritarianism"?
There was this game from 1993 called Shadow President, a simulator were you played as the President of the USA and your objective was to ensure US supremacy whatever by diplomacy or underhanded methods like coups. The premise and presentation were very cool but ultimately the game was a boring spreadsheet simulator. It's available to play online in some of those DOS game archives but be warned, it's very tedious.
What was interesting, though, were the scenarios that came with it. One was fascinating, it was a scenario called "Super-Iraq" where Iraq was a superpower challenging the US. It was crazier than I remembered. To quote the game's manual:
And there are some other wierd things too:

It was so crazy I had to map it:
And there are some other wierd things too:
- In-game, Iraq has the "Centralist Islamic" ideology (ideologies in-game are never well explained) and thus leads a coalition of countries with that same ideology, including the Gulf Countries and, for some reason, Oman, Morocco and Mauritania. I added Syria because it had a similar ideology ("Centralist").
- The game has a very rudimentary ideological system, where the strongest power with an ideology leads the rest. The USSR isn't communist anymore, just "Socialist" which I think it means Nordic social democracy. However, since it's still a superpower, it now leads a bloc with other "socialist" nations like Finland and Sweden, and also Mongolia and Hungary that are "socialist" in-game.
- Meanwhile, China, by virtue of being the last "Communist" superpower, leads the remaining Communist nations. Chinese Afghanistan anyone? Also, Ethiopia is at war with Somalia for some reason. I think the devs were trying to simulate the Ethiopian civil war, but the game does not simulate civil wars or balkanization well at all.
- Which means that Yugoslavia is always happily united, despite being set in the early 90s. Hurray?
- The US also had a system of alliances but it was larger and I didn't bother painting it. It included all the South American pacific nations, but no France or Sweden for some reason.

Since we just had a Super Iraq map, why don't I give you a very simple map I did? Probably the wet dream of Saddam.
Here's a Baathist über Iraq. It could be called something like "Arab Republic of Mesopotamia". From what I heard he was pretty obsessed in the glory and prestige of the pre Islamic realms there.

I am scared for anyone who is not a pro-regime Sunni Arab in this state.
If Saddam really "was pretty obsessed in the glory and prestige of the pre Islamic realms", than others pro-regime minorities should be just fine. As long as they stay pro-regime.
Hey everyone! Long time since I last posted, I think it was some couple years ago, but here's my latest map:

The French Section of the International and its various parties made the backbone of France's socialist ruling coalition since the Second French Revolution of 1892, have lost the general elections for the first time. In its wake, a coalition of federalist parties, mutualist associations, regionalist clubs and trade unions needs to come to terms with running a country. Paris is a symbol for old-school Centralists in the Internationale, and the European Circle of the has lost its strongest proponent of a unified block against the combined Asian and African Circles.
There's a hint at which country is the leader of the African Circle of the International, and hopefully I'll get to post this map someday.
This map is part of a series that I've been making for some time. Here are the other two maps set in the same timeline

Haha thank you! I am super adamant on finding sources that I can put on maps.
I first found it through the Wikipedia article, but there were flags missing, so I went to the now defunct reference article. Through the Wayback Machine, the article shows up here (really interesting content by the way, but it’s all in Vietnamese and French; there are loads of obscure colonial flags and what seem to be contemporary organization emblems). That article looks like it claims to be from a French vexillogical newsletter, but it costs money so that’s where I dropped it.
There was absolutely no info on province flags in Cochinchina, so honestly as enlightening all this was, it shouldn’t be regarded with complete confidence (I used them personally to add a stylistic flare).

I suppose if anyone would call the Spaniards sheep f@*#ers it would be the indigenous people of the Americas. Though I am surprised they knew about Albania.
I don’t know which is best. On the one hand, Ooswiya, Hangewii, Boojigal, and Woomeiniya are just adorable. On the other hand, Moustache-People Land, Not-Speaky-Clearly-People Land, Iron-Hat-People Land, and Horned-Hat-Wearer Land are hilariously, if stereotypical.
